Cadillac CTS-V - Fog HID question

Hey guys was wondering what exactly I need to buy and where to make that bottom fog light have some hids in it. I know most of you have already changed it out I just havent gotten to it yet.:bang:

I just bought an HID kit off of Ebay that was supposed to be "PLUG-N-PLAY". The extension harness from the ballast to the car harness wasn't included. Make sure that this is included in the kit so that you do not have to cut up your factory harness.

Get the DDM H10 35w 4200k kit and a set of their brackets. You could skip the brackets and use strong double sided adhesive to affix the ballasts to the side of the fogs. You'll want to pick up 8 screw-on wire splicers from RadioShack. The whole thing should take you about an hour and a half from start to finish.

Why not get a PLUG-N-PLAY kit?

I got the kits off of Amazon from xentec. Used em before and they are cheap as SHIT.

Working fine in mine(went 3500k but bought 6000k bulbs after not liking the color).

I have pictures somewhere.

Right after install. At the lense it doenst look too yellow but the projected light def is VERY yellow.

I also went with the ddm kit 35w slim kit... you dont need the brackets, simple double sided tape and zip ties work

Thats who I got my kit from. Did yours include the extension harness from the ballast to the car harness?

Mine just unplug from bulb.. Plus into ballast. Then plug ballast into bulbs. Done.

Hmm, I wonder why I didn't get one. What he sent was some cheesy connector that doesn't even work.

that cheesy connector works. Just gotta go positive to positive. Was rather simple.

ALso did the low beams on my brothers 12 camry. And the kit for his fogs had a bad ballast so they sent me another overnight almost.

He went 8000k on both sets.

Here's what I bought:

Also, sticking double sided adhesive to the side of the fogs doesn't last. Both sides of mine fell & I need to reinstall one side because my wheel well liner is gone & it drug on the ground & pulled the connection. Luckily I heard the ballast drop & pulled over immediately. It's still usable, but all roughed up. I need some other method of mounting it. My fogs SHOWED a bracket in the ad, but didn't actually come with one.

This is the ballast (being installed) that drug on the ground. You can see it adhesived to the side of the bracket:

Is this what you received? If so, what do you mean "positive to positive"?

Mine had the set of cables that go INTO that connector you have. But as you plug themin you have to make sure the positve goes to the positive end of the connector.

Not my picture but mine came with those wires in the middle that go from the ballast to the plug from the stock bulb.

Or the ones on the right of that photo but I had to put the stupid connector adapter onto the red/black wires.

That yellow running light is exactly what bothered me, along with the damned ugly yellow low beams, which is why I pulled my bumper 1 more time to get these lights installed. Love the color SO MUCH MORE:

those are next. But as I havent pulled my bumper... Later. Ill do a hyper which corner bulb along with my current setup.

My point exactly. I didn't receive those extension wires.http://inlinethumb59.webshots.com/27194/2973290700065378755S600x600Q85.jpg

Id bitch. Did you get them through amazon? I just filed my complaint about the ballast there. two days later there was one at my house.

No its was through Ebay and I got no response. Id bitch. Did you get them through amazon? I just filed my complaint about the ballast there. two days later there was one at my house.

Oh... Company I did it through deals on Amazon. I hate FLEABAY.

I drilled holes in my fog light brackets and zip tied the ballasts/wiring to them like so..
This was close to a year ago and they're still holding in place perfectly.

I have a set of the DDMTuning kit for sale in my Garage Sale thread. Comes with everything you need (yes, it has the harness)

If I could get them out, sure! ;) I was thinking of making a hanger so it wouldn't at least fall should the adhesive fail again.

Sorry to bring this thread back but just wanted to say for those considering going to clear fogs, you do not need to remove the bumper to replace them. Ive heard people say you do. Only for the headlights. Turn your steering wheel all the way and the front wheel well mud guard needs to come out. Did mine just the other day cause one of my fogs was cracked. 10-15 min job per side

Hey guys was wondering what exactly I need to buy and where to make that bottom fog light have some hids in it. I know most of you have already changed it out I just havent gotten to it yet.:bang:

While you are at it, use a relay harness ( or make your own) so you can get full 14 volts to the ballast. Much brighter. Also makes it easy to wire the fogs to stay on with the hi-beams. Hid fogs+Hid hi-beams+ Hid lo-beams = Serious lighting
